If you are looking for a romantic get-away or perhaps a special dinner with friends and family, Monet is the place for you. This charming little piece of France sits alongside the small and quaint downtown area. This charming restaurant is quite modest in the center, but the outside patio with exterior lights brings it the much needed attention it deserves. As soon as you enter, you can't help but notice the warm and cozy interior. The background tone is set by beautiful French music, which is played by a live musician on the clarinet. When we sat at our table, we were immediately greeted by the friendly staff. We were in a rush and the wait staff graciously adapted to our schedule. The short menu is full of bistro classics: escargot, duck, salmon, beef and pasta. Our order consisted of: -Charcuterie board The board was by far one of the best boards I have ever had in my life. The cheeses and jams tasted extremely fresh. -French onion soup The soup spoke not only of the seriousness of the kitchen, but its ingenuity in creating authentic French tastes. As someone has been to Paris on several occasions, this soup tasted almost identical to what is being served in Parisian cafes/restaurants. -Truffle burger The burger was cooked perfectly and all of the flavors meshed perfectly together. -Creme brûlée Very creamy and not too sweet. A perfect end to a delicious dinner. To sum up all of the above, you're going to leave depressed that this place isn't in your neighborhood. I certainly did! read more
